Snow Removal Risks in Stratford
Main street businesses. Storefront walkways and small lots see steady foot traffic, which raises slip and fall exposure. See slip and fall liability.
Resort and hospitality properties. Hotels, rentals and resort businesses need entrances and parking cleared early, with guests unfamiliar with icy conditions. See slip and fall liability.
Farm and acreage work. Many operators plow with tractors and loaders for neighbours and rural clients, which raises questions about how that equipment is insured. See farmers who plow snow.
